The Problem

Your Magento Store Is Several Patches Behind and Nobody Has Noticed

It shows up when Adobe posts a security bulletin, your payment provider traces card fraud to your checkout, or a patch install fails on staging.

  1. Missing patches

    Nobody knows which security releases the store lacks.

    Missing patches

    Your version is matched against Adobe's bulletins, listing every missing patch.

  2. Risky updates

    The last update broke checkout for a day.

    Risky updates

    Patches go to staging first, then checkout and admin get tested.

  3. Hidden skimmers

    Card-stealing code hides in the database, not just files.

    Hidden skimmers

    Files and database get scanned for skimmer code, including head scripts.

  4. Stale admins

    Old admin users and API tokens still work.

    Stale admins

    Admin users, integrations, and tokens are reviewed, trimmed, and rotated.

Your store runs Magento with a long list of extensions, and nobody remembers when the last security release went on. The developer who knew the codebase moved on. Adobe keeps publishing security bulletins, and each one feels risky because the last update broke checkout for a day. Meanwhile, your payment provider asks whether you've checked for card skimmers. You haven't, because nobody knows where to look.

We start by matching your exact version against Adobe's security bulletins, so you see every missing Magento security patch in one list. Patches go onto a staging copy first, then checkout, admin, and extensions get tested before release. We also check your files and database for skimmer code and clean anything we find. Your store gets current on security, not another broken checkout.

  • Every missing patch listed

    Your exact version is checked against Adobe security bulletins and isolated patch releases.

  • Staging before your live store

    Each patch is applied and tested on staging, including checkout and your key extensions.

  • Skimmer checks in two places

    Files and database are both scanned, since injected scripts can hide in store configuration.

Our Magento Security Patches and Audit Process

From Patch Check to Clean, Current Store in Five Clear Steps

You see the missing patches, the scan results, and the staging test before anything touches your live store, and you pick the release window.

  1. We read your Magento version from the outside where we can, confirm it with you, and list the security releases that apply. You get a short note and a fixed price. If your store is already current and clean, we'll tell you before we quote.

Projects We've Built

Stores with large catalogs, admin dashboards, and checkouts that we designed and built. They weren't Magento patch projects, but they show the setups this work keeps safe.

What Our Clients Say

What Clients Say After Launch

Feedback from teams we have built stores, apps, and websites for.

We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

Work Culture

Why Store Owners Trust Us With Magento Security Patches

Patching a live Magento store is where checkouts break. These habits keep your orders coming in while the store gets current on security.

  • A staging copy every time

    Every patch runs on a copy of your store first. Test orders, admin logins, and your busiest extensions get checked before the live release.

  • Patches in release order

    Adobe builds isolated patches on the latest security release, so order matters. We apply them in sequence, which avoids the conflicts that make patching feel risky.

  • Database checked, not just files

    Skimmers can hide in store configuration and CMS blocks. We search your database too, because a clean file scan alone can miss them.

  • Honest about old versions

    If your release line is past Adobe's support dates, we tell you and show the upgrade path. Patching an unsupported version only buys time.

  • Release windows you choose

    Live releases happen in your quietest hours with a backup ready. You pick the window, and we stay on until the store checks out.

  • Your keys, rotated and yours

    Admin passwords, integration tokens, and payment keys are rotated after cleanup and stay in your name. Our access comes out at handover.

Good fit

  • Stores several patches behind

    Your Magento store missed several security releases, and you want them applied without another weekend of broken checkout.

  • Stores linked to card skimming

    Your payment provider traced fraud to your checkout, and you need Magento website malware removal and a root cause, not just a scan.

  • Teams with no Magento developer

    Your Magento developer left, and you need someone to run a Magento security patch check and keep your store current.

  • Adobe Commerce Cloud merchants

    You run Adobe Commerce on Cloud and need isolated patches applied through the Quality Patches Tool with the right deploy steps.

  • Agencies with Magento clients

    Your agency supports Magento clients and needs security patches for Magento applied under your brand, with a report for each store.

Not a fit

  • Need a version upgrade

    You're on Magento 2.4.6 or older and need a new minor release, not just patches. Our Magento 2 Upgrade and Migration Services handle that move.

  • Want monthly patching

    You want patches, monitoring, and developer hours every month. Our Magento Support and Maintenance plans cover that from $450 per month.

  • Still on Magento 1

    Your store runs Magento 1, which Adobe stopped supporting in June 2020. Patches won't fix that, so a move to a supported platform comes first.

  • Store on a hosted platform

    Your store runs on Shopify or BigCommerce, which patch the platform for you. Our Ecommerce Security Services cover access and checkout scripts there instead.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on cost, timing, installing patches, Magento 1, malware removal, and supported versions.

  • Our Magento security patches installation service starts at $700 for one store. That covers your bulletin audit, the latest security release on staging then live, a skimmer check, and 30 days of fix support. The $1,600 plan adds malware cleanup and an admin review. The $3,200 plan rebuilds a compromised store from a clean install and rotates every key.

  • A patch install takes 2 to 4 business days, including the audit, staging tests, and the live release. If your store is several releases behind, it takes longer when extensions need updates to match. Malware cleanup or a full recovery takes 1 to 3 weeks, depending on how deep the injected code goes.

  • You install Magento security patches by moving to the latest security release for your line with Composer, then running the upgrade and deploy steps. On a staging copy, update the version in Composer, then run setup:upgrade, compile, and static content deploy. Test your checkout and admin, back up production, and release in a quiet hour.

  • A single urgent fix ships as an isolated patch file, which you apply on top of the latest security release for your line. Adobe Commerce stores use the Quality Patches Tool, and Open Source stores apply the file with Composer patches or Git. Adobe tests isolated patches only against the latest release, so get your store current first.

  • Adobe ships a new Magento minor release about once a year, and security releases at least yearly for every supported line. Urgent fixes arrive as isolated patches in between, such as the September 2025 hotfix for the SessionReaper flaw (CVE-2025-54236). That's why we check your store against every bulletin, not only the last release.

  • Apply them on a staging copy first, in release order, and test your checkout before going live. Treat each Magento 2 security patch as a release: check extension compatibility, back up your database, and use maintenance mode during the deploy. Pick a low-traffic window, then watch your logs and orders for a day.

  • Adobe stopped releasing Magento 1 patches when support ended in June 2020, so no official patches exist now. The community OpenMage LTS project still publishes fixes, but you'd rely on volunteers for a store that takes payments. The safer path is moving to Magento 2 or another platform, and we'll help you weigh that first.

  • You remove malware from a Magento site by cleaning both the files and the database, then closing the way in. Compare core files to a clean Composer install, and search your database for injected scripts, especially the HTML head settings and CMS blocks. Remove unknown admin users and cron jobs, rotate every key, and patch the flaw used to get in.

  • Adobe's lifecycle policy gives Adobe Commerce 2.4.7 standard support until May 31, 2027, 2.4.8 until May 31, 2028, and 2.4.9 until May 31, 2029. Version 2.4.6 left standard support on August 11, 2026. If your store runs 2.4.6 or older, patches alone won't keep it covered, so plan a minor upgrade.

  • Every plan includes 30 days of fix support after patching. If the update affects an extension, your checkout, or a cron job, we fix it within that window. You get a report with your version, the patches applied, and what we found. For monthly patching after that, our Magento Support and Maintenance plans take over.
